Sexy Hollywood star Hugh Jackman had to thank a photographer for helping him find his lost son on a California beach.The actor was at the beach in Malibu with kids Oscar, eight, Ava, two, when Oscar disappeared.He tells the National Enquirer, "I’d sat down with my two kids, we were playing - and all of a sudden he’s gone. I’m freaking out. I start running down the beach, and I can see this guy running behind me. I turn around - and it’s a paparazzi."So I think ‘Oh, no. That’s all I need - I’ve lost my kid and this guy’s going to take pictures of me hysterical." But the celebrity snapper actually helped save the day. "(He said) ‘Hugh! Hugh! Listen mate, there’s your son. Over there.’ "I looked around and saw my little boy. That paparazzi (sic) was really child minding. I guess those guys do come in handy occasionally."

A videotape that allegedly shows sexy Hollywood star Angelina Jolie snorting and smoking heroin has been offered for sale at a hefty price.

She once said, "I’ve done coke, heroin, ecstasy, LSD everything. I hate heroin because I’ve been fascinated with it. I’m not immune, but I won’t do it now, at all." But now video proof could damage her career and reputation as a huge charity campaigner.The National Enquirer’s source claims the tape’s owner is seeking $70,000 for its sale and is telling the tabloid, "It appears to be from the 1990s, right before Angelina was breaking out in films like Gia and Girl, Interrupted, which won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress."The key part of the tape is Angelina doing heroin. She says, ‘Wow, this is really good smack - not that cheap crap that’s been stepped on.’ "Angelina is seen sniffing white lines from a plate, and then as the drug cooks on tinfoil, she deeply sucks in its smoke through a tube."

It was something of a dream come true for any true New Yorker; MICKY DOLENZ playing with NILE RODGERS and his outfit CHIC. As any dance music fan knows, CHIC really ruled the musical roost in the 80s ... not only with their string of hits, including, "Everybody Dance", "Le Freak", "Good Times", and, "I Want Your Love", but, Rodger's sterling productions for SISTER SLEDGE; DAVID BOWIE; MADONNA; DIANA ROSS; GRACE JONES; DEBBIE HARRY; and, DURAN DURAN. His "He's The Greatest Dancer" was/is a personal favorite! But, last night, at his yearly WE ARE FAMILY event, they saluted PATTI LABELLE; DEEPAK CHOPRA; and, Gibson's HENRY JUSZKIEWICZ, at the Hammerstein Ballroom.Once all the business was taken care of, including a raffle presided over by Rodgers; WAFF's NANCY HUNT and SLASH ... the music got started.First off, Patti Labelle came onstage with her LABELLE-sisters SARAH DASH and NONA HENDRX. The performed "Lady Marmalade"(which was originally released in December, 1974) and announced they had officially reformed and a CD would be out later this year. Always a great song, the original was produced by New Orleans' ALLEN TOUSSAINT, this year's version was amazingly powerful ... and, Patti showed she had not lost one iota of vocal power. The other girls were good, but, Patti blew them away.At 63, she is a force of nature.Then came MICKY DOLENZ, who performed "Last Train To Clarksville", "Pleasant Valley Sunday", and, closed with a rousing "I'm A Believer." We here at TSG are huge fans of the Monkee-man, but, last night he performed at a new peak. I don't know if it was the sterling musicianship all around him, or what ... but, he delivered like never before. Turns out Nile was a major-Monkee fan back in the day, and as he introduced Dolenz, he could hardly contain his enthusiasm. Hey boys, here's a thought: How about a Rodgers/Dolenz project? Hmmmmm ... could be very good indeed.Seen scattered about the lovely Hammerstein, were, Fox News' ROGER FRIEDMAN; GLORIA VANDRBILT; TONY BENNETT; Independent Entertainment's STUART GROSS; Tommy Boy's TOM SILVERMAN; SOPRANO-BOBBY FUNARO; PR Pasha, DAVID SALIDOR; the DAILY NEWS' GEORGE RUSH; and, SUZAN KRESSEL. A terrific evening for a very, very good cause!

Yesterday Gregg "Opie" Hughes from the Opie and Anthony XM radio show in New York City had a melt down on the air over being named "Asshole Of The Week" in Steppin Out magazine.

Below is the Steppin Out story that hits news stands tomorrow.

'THE STEPPIN OUT MAGAZINE STORY'

BY: CHAUNCE HAYDEN

Gregg “Opie” Hughes of the Opie and Anthony 92.3K-Rock radio show (the lowest rated morning show in New York City) is furious at me for publishing a story about an alleged sex tape starring his fiance Lindsey and MTV’s favorite “Jackass” Bam Margera. There’s only one problem, dopey Opie never bothered to pickup a copy of Steppin’ Out to see what we reported or even if the story had ever been published. Um, it hadn’t. Last week Page Six of the New York Post published an item that yours truly was planning on writing a story on the alleged sex tape in an upcoming issue. Page Six was correct. However, what Opie and Bam failed to do was return my request for a comment regarding the sex tape rumor. So the Steppin’Out story was killed. Despite our efforts to get the facts, Opie chose to humiliate his fiance by using the item as a ratings grabber and turning a small mention in Page Six into two days of on-air fireworks. Opie even went so far as to lie about the time he called me on the phone several hours after I interviewed both him and his partner Anthony Cumia for Penthouse magazine and ask if I would change one of their answers. The question was, “Who invented ‘Whip them out Wednesdays (WOW)”? Anthony answered, “We both did.” Later that day Opie called my office and cried how sick he was of Anthony always saying, “We invented WOW.” He asked that I change the answer to read, “I invented WOW years before Anthony and I met.” Which I gladly did. Last week Opie denied the call ever took place. Really? All one need do is read the interview in the January 2001 issue of Penthouse for confirmation. But getting back to the subject at hand...the alleged sex tape.Two weeks ago I was contacted by a former O&A staff member who informed me that there was a sex tape involving Opie’s fiance and Bam Margera and that the tape (allegedly now owned by another former staff member of the O&A Show) was going to be sold on the Internet in the coming weeks. I was told that Lindsey and Bam were allegedly “doing the nasty” on the video tape and that it was made prior to Opie meeting Lindsey. Since the Page Six item came out, all parties involved have denied the video tape exists. I also believe that there is no sex video since nobody has come forward to present the evidence to the media. Now the question has to be asked, “Why do so many ex-staffers hate Opie so much that they feel the need to embarrass him any chance they get?” Well, judging from the lies Opie so easily tells over his airwaves, from this reporter’s perspective it’s easy to see why.For more on this story, you can hear me interviewed on Internet radio at www.robontradio.com. The Opie and Anthony Show is now officially the lowest rated morning radio show in New York City with a 1.7 rating behind WWFS.

We don't understand how client number 9, Eliot Spitzer's call girl Ashley Dupre can even think about filing lawsuits against Girls Gone Wild and nice guy Joe Francis. It seems everyone these days is trying to make a buck off Francis. The above video clearly shows Dupre agreeing to be on Girls Gone Wild and she is very excited. She say's that she is 18 years old and shows producers her ID and the producers filmed the ID. If anything, Francis should file a suit against her for his lawyers fees and any other expenses he has had because of her false charge.

He said, "Her hands were shaking, she was soaked (from tears). She couldn’t sit still." Thurman’s former personal assistant Lisa Grondin also revealed how the trauma caused her to take up smoking again. Jordan is also accused of sending letters and notes to Thurman while she shot My Super Ex-Girlfriend in the city; in one, threatening to kill himself is she didn’t date him. Another read, "My hands should be on your body at all times." After pleading not guilty to misdemeanour stalking, aggravated harassment and felony coercion, Jordan’s lawyer contended that his letters were not illegal, telling the court, "(Jordan) does not think the way you and I think. He doesn’t know the boundaries you and I know. He thinks it’s romantic." Thurman was scheduled to testify today. The case continues.

Television star Patrick Dempsey is mad he lost out to sexy Matt Damon in a recent ‘World’s Sexiest Man’ poll. The 42-year-old claims he keeps fit and eats a healthy diet and is the perfect candidate to beat heartthrobs Damon or George Clooney to the number one position. Demspey has even vowed to call the actors to tell them to "step aside" for next year’s competitions - because he is so desperate to win. He tells British magazine Closer, "I think this has to be my year. I’m always pipped to the top by one of those guys. I’m constantly number two. "I’m going to call George and Matt and tell them to let me have it - they should step aside for one year and let me win.

Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow has been left with permanent numbness in one of her legs after breaking her knee while making the new movie Iron Man.

The accident even caused a bust-up with director John Favreau, who was convinced she was exaggerating her pain: "I kept exercising and running around in the movie. Then it really started to expand. In one scene I’m running away from Ironmonger - the bad Iron Man - and I said to John, ‘My knee is really hurting, I don’t know how many times I can do this.’ He was rolling his eyes, saying ‘you’re fine’."But I went to the doctor and I had a fracture so bad they had to do surgery the next day. They put cement in there! So I felt very smug and he apologised."It still doesn’t feel right. I had a nerve problem. My legs don’t feel the same. Sometimes it happens with surgery. If I get a wax, one leg hurts more than the other."

Lindsay Lohan showed up at the Scarlet Series Launch Party yesterday in West Hollywood, California. I know I'm going to get some comments and e-mails, but we think Lindsay looks great in this colorful outfit.

Joe Francis issued the following statement to Times Square Gossip today in response to a lawsuit allegedly filed by Ashley Dupré. We at Times Square Gossip think the governor's hooker should go strut her used stuff on the other corner like all the other trash.

“We were very surprised and in fact amazed today that Ms. Dupré filed a lawsuit against Girls Gone Wild. We have not publicly released any new video of Ms. Dupré, due to corporate policy of not using footage of individuals younger than 18. It is incomprehensible that Ms. Dupré could claim she did not give her consent to be filmed by Girls Gone Wild, when in fact we have videotape of her giving consent, while showing her identification. We did in fact offer Ashley via her New York attorney $1 Million to host and promote various Girls Gone Wild activities – She refused this offer and in fact if she’d like to reconsider, we’d be happy to discuss. She should keep in mind, it’s considerably more than the Governor of New York paid her, and our activities aren’t illegal,” said Joe Francis, CEO of Girls Gone Wild.

“She’s seeking $10 Million for topless photos taken in front of a room full of people, including two newspapers and multiple crews we had in the room. These images were taken in public places and contain no sexual contact. We expect to triumph in this matter and continue to offer the best and hottest girls,” added Francis.

Video of Ms. Dupré giving her consent will be available on-line imminently.

But the pictures, taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz are causing outrage around the country. And Cyrus now admits she regrets going ahead with the magazine shoot. She says, "For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie (Leibovitz). I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed."I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about." Speaking about the other set of photographs which ended up on the web, she says, "The pictures of me on the Internet were silly, inappropriate shots."I hope (my fans) understand that along the way I am going to make mistakes and I am not perfect. I never intended for any of this to happen and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone."Most of all, I have let myself down." Disney Channel bosses have also condemned the Vanity Fair images - accusing the publication of creating "a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines." But Vanity Fair has defended the shoot, insisting the images were given the green light by the star, her parents and her management. A spokesman tells Us Weekly magazine, "Miley’s parents and/or minders were on the set all day."Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley."

Sexy Hollywood star Ashton Kutcher loves to urinate outside his mansion every morning, because he wants to feel closer to nature.The 'That 70's Show" star admits he likes to join his dogs when they empty their bladders in the morning outside the home he shares with his wife actress Demi Moore. And he blames his weird toilet habit on his desire to bond with the earth and feel like a "caveman". He says, "I pee outside, outside my house, in my yard. I usually start off my day by taking my dogs out. While they go, I go."That’s probably my least appealing habit. I just feel like I’m connecting with nature, I bond and feel like caveman. Man, tents, cave, pee, bush." We understand Ashtons call to nature, we have it too, but what does he do when hes at his wife Demi's New York City apartment? We guess he walks right across the street to Central Park. Better be careful of the Gay cruising area, you may be sliding home !

In the beginning, the actual bands often disowned them, but, the Genesis-tribute ensemble, THE MUSICAL BOX, has actually been legitimately endorsed by the band members themselves. There's another one, right here in New York, called TALK OF THE TOWN, which handles music from both THE CARS and THE PRETENDERS ... and, they pull it off tremendously well.In fact, according to TOTT spokesperson MARY BETH CRONIN, "We've actually begun a dialogue with GREG HAWKES from the band, and, he's been an incredible source of inspiration." In fact, he might even be involved in a new single the band is recording right now, though that has not yet locked in.The 5-members of the band, COSMO LoCRICCHIO; JAY SHARKEY; JOE BIVONA; BILLY REUTLINGER, along with Cronin, are planning a massive tour this spring and summer on the North East.

Baywatch beauty Pamela Anderson has been left very upset by published reports that she’s no longer a vegetarian after photos of her gobbling a veggie hot dog were misconstrued by the media. The Hollywood star, longtime meat-free and PETA activist, was accused of eating a beef dog during a recent visit to her son Brandon’s baseball game in Malibu, California. But Anderson has been quick to point out that she never eats meat even if there was nothing else on the menu. She tells PlanetGossip.eonline.com, "It’s like Hotdoggate… Clearly, it’s a veggie dog (in the pictures). They’ve been serving veggie dogs and veggie burgers at my kids’ baseball games for years now."

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse's dad Mitch is seeking to have the star committed to a mental institution, because he is convinced this is the only way he can save his wild daughter from her alleged drug demons.Mitch is so desperate for the Grammy-winner to live a clean and sober lifestyle, and has grown increasingly worried over her erratic behaviour, which resulted in her arrest and subsequent police caution over accusations of assault earlier this week. And now Mitch wants his troubled daughter to be sectioned under the U.K.’s Mental Health Act, because she has proven she is at risk of hurting herself and others. He tells British newspaper the News of the World, "I want her sectioned. The situation is getting out of control. I want her off the street. I don’t think being somewhere (in rehab) for six weeks is going to cure her problems. I think it needs far more radical measures."I’ve been on the phone to Amy’s manager in Los Angeles and he’s starting things rolling. They are going to be speaking to doctors, psychologists and everything else. Ultimately, it’s the doctors who will decide if anybody is sectionable."I’ve told them (medical authorities) she is a danger to herself. There is evidence of self-harming and she’s a danger to other people because she’s attacked someone."Obviously as her dad I will try and do what’s best for her. Unfortunately, what I think is best for her and what she thinks is best for her are two different things."
